beansideWell, that sucked. Yesterday I woke up with a bit of a headache and it just never really went away. I ended up leaving work at 12, and napping to no avail. I still have a little headache this morning, but it's moved to the other side of my face, so hopefully this one will go away through judicious pain reliever use.
I cancelled game and just relaxed last night, because there was no chance of me concentrating.
After I napped for a little while, we watched the concert/lore movie Ghost put out last year. I'd watched it with Jess when it came out on video last year. It was my first real introduction to the band, because I figured if Jess wanted to see them live, I should know what they did. Most of it went over my head last time, but I was very engrossed this time. And of course, I knew most of the music, which helped.
So part of the mystique is that there have been five lead singers (all the same dude, in different makeup or a mask). They each are the Pope of a shadowy unnamed Satanic Organization. Normally, after an album or two, that "Papa," as he's called, will die, making room for a new somehow related Papa. The last one, who was forced to be Cardinal for a cycle to prove his worth was Copia. He was eventually promoted to Papa Emeritus, and finished out a second cycle. Everyone expected him to die at the end of the movie, but instead his mother died, making way for him to ascend to the head of the shadowy organization, becoming Frater Imperator. The new Papa, V, is Papa Perpetua.
Perpetua is who we saw. The last few Papas sung in full face masks, which the lead singer says is like trying to play soccer in flip flops. Perpetua wears a half mask and makeup, which he finds to be much better. Perpetua is supposed to be Copia's twin brother, who only their mother knew about. Copia hates him. He popped the V key off his computer so as to avoid his brother's symbol.
Anyhow, there's footage of the twins playing in the movie, and one is dark haired and one is tow headed. So it is now my headcanon that Perpetua wants to be accepted so badly that he dyed his hair to look more like Copia. And that makes me happy.
Today, I just have work, and then I may make some cookies. I could really go for some soft baked snickerdoodles.
I'm looking forward to the weekend. We have Frostmaiden on Friday, then I'm off on Saturday, and then Arvandor at 12:30. It's been weeks upon weeks since we played either.
And on that note, I'm going to go forth and put on pants. Everyone have an outstanding Thursday!
